schestowitz[TR2]                                    <blockquote>Dec 14 05:49
schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p>Systems built around identity-based access control tend to rely on ambient authority: policy is centralized and errors in the policy configuration or bugs in the policy engine can allow attackers to make full use of that ambient authority. In the case of a SUID binary like doas or sudo, that means an attacker can obtain root access in the event of a bug or misconfiguration. </p>Dec 14 05:49
schestowitz[TR2]                                        <p> What if there was a better way? Instead of thinking about privilege escalation as becoming root for a moment, what if it meant being handed a narrowly scoped capability, one with just enough authority to perform a specific action and nothing more? Enter the object-capability model. </p>Dec 14 05:49

schestowitz[TR2]<blockquote>Dec 14 22:51
schestowitz[TR2]<p>When I decided to try a different Linux distro, I did what most people would do: I typed ‘the best Linux distros for beginners’ into my search bar. The AI overview and top ten organic search results recommended Ubuntu LTS, Linux Mint, Zorin OS, Pop!_OS, Elementary OS, and a few other Linux distros. I ran with Pop!_OS because it promised a fast, organized, intuitive, and modern UI, customizations, security, and hardware compaDec 14 22:51

schestowitz[TR2]<h6>My first impression of Pop!_OS as someone who’s never used it</h6>Dec 14 22:51
schestowitz[TR2]The Pop!_OS UI felt polished, modern, user-friendly, and not too different from the Ubuntu, which I'd been using for a while. The installation and setup process was seamless, and since the first-run and onboarding experiences were also guided, the entire process was beginner-friendly, and I was up and running in no time.Dec 14 22:51
